I agree with what you're saying, and I would phrase it as "write the abstractions that reflect the essential complexity". The whole program should minimally reflect the essential complexity of the problem. Of course actually doing that isn't easy, but the result is obviously a simple solution for a given problem. It becomes another challenge to maintain and refactor: the question of changing problem constraints and being able to minimally change a program to match.

Why are ADTs like stacks, queues, and hashmaps so popular? Why are languages like C or Forth so highly praised for a high ceiling for performance and efficiency? Because they are usually "about as good as it gets" to solve a problem, "what you would've more or less done anyways". Maybe on a GPU, a language like C isn't quite fit, because the problem has changed. Make tools (e.g. CUDA) that reflect that distinct complexity.

We're more realistic. We hope it will never happen. But we fear it might. Strategic nuclear bombardment is something that should be feared, not pooh-poohed.

It's also very important to realize that the majority of currently employed and potential candidates are "white males" in North America and Europe, for better or for worse. So when you say, "the people who are struggling are coincidentally mostly white men", with the implication that white men are somehow being discriminated against, you're being disingenuous at best and outright malicious at worst.
I agree with this approach.

In this field, unless you're hiring a junior engineer, you can have a reasonable expectation that a potential candidate will fly out for an interview even if it's a 100% remote job.

If they refuse, well, there's a chance it's just because they can't afford to. The chance is far greater, though, that you dodged a bullet.
I agree with binding salaries to an index. However, if the index is accurate (which is a whole other can of worms), then it implies that the buying power would stay the same, and you would need extra justification to add a pay raise on top.

Of course, in reality different products/services have substantially different price developments relative to inflation, and it’s difficult to predict whether essential costs of living will be relatively more or less affected by inflation.

Maybe you can but none will recommend that you do, for example Paris recommends at least 2 hours [0]. And if you need to check luggage you have no chance if you're only 20 minutes early, on a train you just carry it onto the carriage.

Standard Google stuff.

For context, I'm an ex-Googler, worked there 2016-2023 during this. For entertainment's sake, I'll list it as I experienced it, rather than just rotely saying "lol disorganized"

- 2008-2015: Huge, absurd Apple fanboy. waiter => create startup => iOS dev. Sold it.

- 2016: Apple rejects me b/c no degree, suggests calling back in a couple years. Google makes me an offer. I join Google.

- October 2016: Wow Pixel looks cool...I work on Android watches...lets try Pixel.

- November 2016: I've been missing out on so much with web services!!! Google is in the future while Apple is in the past!! Even just Google Play Music: Google has iTunes in the browser. Wow!!!!

- 2017: Aw they're shutting down Google Play Music...but hey, I get it! I can see the internal musings and it makes sense, YouTube can commit more resources and has a great content catalog!

- 2018: Wow this dogfood version is great! Lots missing from Google Play Music, seems like a thin shim over YouTube x "play audio only" button x music rights, but there's plenty of time to iterate before release!

- 2019: Ehhh meh this is starting to feel weird, hasn't really evolved much. I do love the recommendation feed better! There's still some stuff to add back, I know they're working on adding your own files back, and they have that excellent Google Play Music/iTunes in the browser UI to be inspired by!

- 2020: Goodbye Play Music, sunset, gone. Ehhhh nothing really changed with YouTube Music, but at least I'm saving money compared to Spotify

- 2022: Podcasts is gonna get sunset and merged into YouTube Music? Makes sense, I guess.

- 2023: Oh man, they sunset Podcasts and YouTube Music wasn't actually prepared for this, they had the absolute MVP for Podcasts...Oh man, look at public backlash.

Man, BigCo management is hard...at the top, they only have bandwidth for Game of Thrones stuff of "We should take podcasts!!" but "delegate" the actual work and people are people, they do exactly what they need to with exactly the resources they have. I guess its cool they're publicly owning the backlash.

- 2024: I am still using YouTube Music. I see your comment on HN, and realize I would have been happier on Spotify all along.
Is this really true? The linear algebra is deterministic, although maybe there is some chaotic behavior with floating point handling. The non deterministic part mostly comes from intentionally added randomness, which can be turned off right?

Maybe the argument is that if you turn off the randomness you don’t have an LLM like result any more?

You aren't wrong, but to be entirely fair, the original meaning of "woke" came from the black activist community and referred to the hidden boundaries and power structures of systemic white supremacy, ignorance of which could directly threaten their lives.

I think it's important to remember that specific context when talking about where "woke" as a concept comes from, its general acceptance within the leftist community has, unfortunately (and maybe inevitably,) come with a bit of whitewashing.

Much like musicians that have dozens of musical keyboards in their collection, I've collected/built dozens of mechanical keyboards over the years. I've got ones with nearly every general type of switch (including Topre).

I like to tell people that - as a developer - I'll spend $400+ on a mechanical keyboard that makes the sound I like, and then use it alongside $500+ noise-cancelling headphones.

But all of my mechanical keyboards sit on a display shelf unused today as I prefer to use the Lenovo TrackPoint II keyboard for all of my work (including coding). It's just the best keyboard ever made in my opinion, and I love using it.
Have you noticed a decline in sales from AIs? I'd think that for such a service, people who don't want to pay wouldn't pay you anyway even if they went to your website first for the information, and people who do want to pay will find your business through the AI.
To a Norwegian reader, blue jeans are definitely included in "pants".

It's entirely possible to read 4.10.1.1, conclude that blue jeans are fine, and then skim over 4.10.1.3.

However the Carlsens read it, after reading it, years will have passed. Carlsen didn't dress like he did after a studious read of the rules. He just put on some nice clothes that were no different from what he usually wears at tournaments.

Except he forgot a belt. A proper organiser would have offered to lend him one.

> ways of responding to some UNCLOS violations while continuing to adhere to it

Sure. It's still, ultimately, a unilateraly rewriting of the terms. Something states can do in international law that individuals can't in a nation with the rule of law.

> because some states are violating it doesn't mean that we should throw the entire thing overboard entirely

Nobody is suggesting that. My point is we should be more open to such rewritings given they're commonly taking place. It doesn't make sense for Europe to treat UNCLOS as binding law when Russia, China and hell America treat is as nice-to-have guidelines.

International agreements were treated as law in the post-WWII era. That era ended some time after the fall of the Soviet Union. Slowly. Then suddenly.

They're now closer to LOIs. Some countries are realising this quickly. Others more slowly.
The main developers of those projects you have listed have all made a living thanks to them.
Of course - they add their own fees, though I guess there's nothing wrong with using them to find a route.
Exactly, I think that's the main difference. Before you had to be together, now people need the foresight to value in-person activities as well as wanting to play together. That's a combination which makes many not make the cut.
“ Film and television are visual art forms that are meant to be viewed and given the appropriate attention.”

It's simpler to just say wages are x% of gdp.
I don't understand why more companies don't leverage in person events. It's something my state does for government jobs and as an applicant, it's so much easier to chat up an agency rep about what they're looking for and schedule a formal interview.
> But literally every device in the real-world just wires the port to the 5V rail with 2 A overcurrent protection

Except Macs, Macbooks, iMacs, I think also at least the Thunderbolt Display from <very many years ago>. They all have a software overcurrent protection that is very triggerhappy. No negotiation and it will whine and shut the offending device off, and same if the negotiated current draw is exceeded.

Just not true. The H1B visa program didn't exist until the 1990s.

In fact, until passage of the Hart-Celler Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, the US was under strict immigration restrictions established by the Johnson-Reed Act of 1924. During that time we assimilated the Ellis Islanders, beat the Great Depression, out-produced the Axis to win World War 2, split the atom, rebuilt Europe and Japan, electrified the country, fed the world with our Green Revolution, invented the transistor, cured polio, invented the integrated circuit, and built the Empire State Building, Golden Gate Bridge, Hoover Dam and interstate highway system. Cheap tech labor benefits a small club of men at the top, such as Elon and paulg. It is not essential to the success or prosperity of America or the American people.

An America where children must study 24/7 and work 80 hours a week as slavish, soulless drones to compete with indentured servants from every corner of the world is not a country I want to live in. It's not the country I was promised nor the future I voted for, and I'm going to fight to make sure it doesn't happen.
It does amuse me somewhat that every country believes they have the worst train network, the UK is no different.
Are mechanical keyboards good for ergonomics and carpal tunnel and all that? Do different switches make a difference for that sort of thing? I’ve been hearing a lot about Hall effect switches recently - wasn’t sure if that can help.

Don't worry, very, very soon the crappy shows that people half-watch will no longer be produced. By humans.

We'll still need people to create actually good content, but that crappy filler stuff will be generated.

It will be a special kind of hell, but there will probably be some way to find out what to actually spend your time watching.
I would assume (but can't know for sure, of course) that Magnus receives the rules before every event, and that he probably has people to help prepare/brief him on anything he needs to know.

He's not a regular participant, Magnus is almost an institution of his own.

Either way, it's literally his job to follow the FIDE rules (which is unusual but true), and he's the best in the world at his job.

In all fairness I originally did the same, so I hear ya. But I'm not a pro at this.
Ohhh I have been low-key thinking of getting that one, but it's a bit expensive:-/ How do you find it? Was it hard to get going? Comfortable? Fast?
I'm as frustrated as anyone about Europe not pulling their weight, but it's not in violation of the treaty. The 2% guideline has nothing to do with the treaty itself. It's precisely that, a non-binding guideline.
Couldn’t it also be worded - I.e this is less about “dress code enforcement “ and is more about FIDE fed up that Carlson is promoting alternative chess organizations - ?

Featbit: Enterprise-level feature flag platform that you can self-host
There's a recent trend of people designing custom keyboards for their own accessibility needs. So this is a random thought, no idea if it would work.

A couple of popular keyboard firmwares are open source. I'm thinking it could be possible to reject two neighbor keys which are struck within the same 10 millisecond window.

IOW, if you're on a qwerty keyboard, if R and T are both hit at the same time, don't send the keystrokes to the computer.

QMK and KMK are popular keyboard firmwares. QMK is C based, and KMK is CircuitPython based.
I edited it in, sorry for the confusion.
I love this idea. I hope to see this type of testing for everyday food as well. Here are some hurtles you might run across

* Can you source low plastic baby food, or low plastic food to process into baby food? Seems like large quantities of the food supply are contaminated.

* How can you comparatively advertise your low test results compared to the competition without being the victim of lawsuits? Lawsuits from established companies feels inevitable, but being involved in a lawsuit can harm funding rounds for startups, even if it’s baseless.

* Would brick & motor stores want to deal with you if you are essentially calling the rest of their products poison?

* Will you need special tools for processing the food that introduces minimal plastics?
Because this isn’t the school yard. And the country you label a “bully” has nukes and probably cares more about Ukraine than you do, based on willingness for sacrifices (though in reverse).

There were people talking like you among JFK’s chief of staff during the Cuban Missile crisis. Same argument. Had JFK listened to them, we very likely would not be here today.

I second both points. You absolutely need to keep your own papers and records and it's fully expected as well.

Also yes fancy paper is more valued than junky ones when nothing else remains, but random printouts are also provided everyday, and they're fine with it. At the crux of it, the foreign gov usually doesn't actually care that much about your birth certificate: they want due diligence at most, even if they'll have a more strict public facing facade. It's cross referenced only when it really matters (e.g. you're trying to get citizenship or a background check for security clearance ?)
Nearly two thirds of Canada's population live within the Windsor-Quebec City corridor - some 40 million people. Similarly Vancouver, BC - Portland, OR has relatively high population density. Population is not the reason for rail failing here.
Look into Paro.ai. They are a marketplace with good and reliable bookkeeper, accountants, CFOs. My AI startup got a CFO from them 3 years ago and the relationship is still going strong. They haven't hiked up my rates over 3 years. CPA firms increase rates every year, or dump you if you don't make enough money for them
I dont really see what rights have to do with it. My point is that the current situation was entirely predictable, and in fact, it was widely predicted.

I'm not making some moral point.
Show HN: Anki AI Utils
Hi hn, I am nearly at the end of medical school so it is time I publish and "advertise" my open source scripts/apps for anki! Here's the pitch:

Anki AI Utils is a suite of AI-powered tools designed to automatically improve cards you find challenging. Whether you're studying medicine, languages, or any complex subject, these tools can:

- Explain difficult concepts with clear, ChatGPT-generated explanations.

- Illustrate key ideas using Dall-E or Stable Diffusion-generated images.

- Create mnemonics tailored to your memory style, including support for the Major System.

- Reformulate poorly worded cards for clarity and better retention.

Key Features:

- Adaptive Learning: Uses semantic similarity to match cards with relevant examples.

- Personalized Memory Hooks: Builds on your existing mnemonics for stronger recall.

- Automation Ready: Run scripts daily to enhance cards you struggled with.

- Universal Compatibility: Works across all Anki clients (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS).

Example:

For a flashcard about febrile seizures, Anki AI Utils can:

- Generate a Dall-E illustration of a toddler holding a teacup next to a fireplace.

- Create mnemonics like "A child stumbles near the fire, dances symmetrically, has one strike, and fewer than three fires."

- Provide an explanation of why febrile seizures occur and their diagnostic criteria.

Call for Contributors:

This project is battle-tested but needs help to become a polished Anki addon. If you’re a developer or enthusiast, join us to make these tools more accessible!

Check out my other projects on GitHub: [Anki AI Utils](https://github.com/thiswillbeyourgithub)

Transform your Anki experience with AI—because learning should be smarter, not harder.
Not to be flippant, but paying for access to an API is going to be way more cost-effective than buying sufficient hardware to run this locally. You might try waiting to see if someone distills this model down to a smaller one, or sparsifies it by deleting a bunch of parameters and fine-tuning, or comes up with a 1.5-bit version. But you're going to need 2x RAM to run this one even very optimistically. 4x would give better quality outputs. And it will still be fairly slow unless you throw more GPU hardware at it.

Rust also has great tooling. Clippy, Rust analyzer (the LSP). Developing Rust in NeoVim is just as fun as Go.

Other languages that do ok are OCaml, Elixir/Gleam, Typescript. Go and Rust just have what I consider a "cut above" the others when it comes to both tooling and standar language features.

Not sure that would make sense. And it probably would appear like communism to the US, because one company or industry increasing the GDP would then translate into benefitting the workers of all other companies/industries. Also, if GDP decreases, salary would have to decrease as well.
I simply don't have any reason to use Lua now. I replaced OBS with software that just works, and that saved me countless hours of hacking a new language to do something that may not even work how I need it to. $40 is money well spent, and Lua will have to wait for another project, if one ever comes up. And if OBS hadn't injected so much extra stuff I'd probably settled on a Typescript-to-Lua toolchain to do the work, because I just don't really have time for context switching to languages I'll only ever use for a single project.
I just think start with the moral issue first. Then legal experts can craft logic around that.

Basically, if an unemployed American that can write React code, that person should have a job before any H1B (or remotely hired person) at the same level, same remoteness status, etc... If all the Americans are hired, then H1B levels (and remote work Indians) may rise again.

I might have a larger shot at getting a job right now if I literally move to India and get in with one of these programming shops. Of course I won't participate in the night-time scamming operation of US grandparents.
